Distractify has thirty mall santas to be on the lookout for. There’s plenty of listicle filler here, but would you just look at those vintage masked bastards. There’s even a website dedicated to creepy santas. [via MeFi, which has even more]

We’ve posted previously about Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), the weird sounds in electronic recordings that some paranormal researchers insist are actually voices of spirits. But I didn’t realize that EVP is part of a larger genre of ghostly phenomena called Instrumental Transcommunication “said to occur on devices as varied as television sets, radios, computers, handheld […]
